💠 "Say: Do but consider all the means of sustenance that Allah has bestowed on you! Some of it you then made unlawful, and some lawful. Say: Has Allah given you leave to do so, or do you fabricate lies against Allah?" [Yunus 10/59]

❐ “Indeed it is the main aspect of translating belief into reality. To acknowledge that Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) is the One who creates and sustains entails that He is the One to be worshiped and the One who determines all matters relating to human life.

❐ These include the means of sustenance Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) has provided. The unbelievers in Arabia acknowledged Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) as the Creator and the Provider of sustenance, as do some who call themselves Muslims today.

☝️Islam is not a title that people attach to their names; it is a belief with practical implications.”

💠So Islam is not just a label we add to our names, It is a complete way of life, grounded in belief and demonstrated through action.

☝️Being a Muslim is not about titles or appearances, but about sincerely living by the values and teachings of Islam in our daily lives through worship, character, honesty, and how we treat others.

🔰Among the causes of having worries disappear and sins forgiven is sending ṣalāh (supplications for peace) upon the Prophet ﷺ, and the effect of sending ṣalāh upon him on Friday is greatest.

💠Ubayy ibn Kaʻb, may Allah be pleased with him, said,

🔰"O Messenger of Allah, I frequently invoke the blessings of Allah upon you. How much of my supplications should I devote to you?"

💢He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said, "Whatever you wish." I said, "A quarter?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "One half?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Two thirds?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Shall I devote all my supplication to (invoking blessings upon) you?"

💥He said, "Then, you will be freed from your worry and your sin will be forgiven."

[At-Tirmithi: good-authentic; Al-Haakim in Al-Mustadrak]

💠Anas bin Maalik (radhi Allaahu anhu) said:  Verily the Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:

💥Whoever sends Salah upon me once Allah will send ten (blessings) upon him and remove ten of his sins and raise his rank by ten levels.

[Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, Imam Bukharee in Adabul Mufrad #642 and #643. Jami Sagheer #6359 authenticated by Al Abaanee]

💠“Truly Allah and His angels say Salah on the Prophet, O you believers, recite Salah on him and send Salam on him completely.” [Al-Ahzab | C.33: A.56]

💠 Ibn Abbas (Rady'Allahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said,

‼️"Whoever forgets to send blessings upon me, he has missed a path to Paradise."

[Sunan Ibn Mäjah 908]

🔰The most essential meaning of ‘religion’ is 'to submit and to follow’. This is most clearly evidenced by following the law as it is proven by offering worship. The matter is very serious.

♨️It admits no ambiguity of the sort that considers people who follow laws other than Allah’s law, without being compelled to do so, as believers and as Muslims, simply because they profess to believe in Allah and because they offer their worship to Him.

‼️This ambiguity is perhaps the most serious threat to this religion of Islam at the present time. It is the worst weapon leveled at it by its enemies who depict some people and situations as Muslim and Islamic,

🚫even though these people are similar to the ones God describes as unbelievers taking as lords beings other than Allah and turning away from the religion of truth.

☝️ “they have been ordered to worship none but the One God, other than whom there is no deity. Exalted be He above those to whom they ascribe divinity.” [at-Tawbah 9/31]

‼️“O’ Talib al-‘Ilm!🦋

💎(Student of knowledge) Know, that courage is an enormous obligation upon those who learn knowledge - so be courageous, and speak out with the truth, and do not compromise with anyone.

‼️And know - may Allah protect you from evil - that merely concealing the truth, and being silent about it: this is something which Allah has not only warned with threats of Divine Punishment; rather, He has cursed them - and there is no might, nor power, except with the permission of Allah.

‼️So if this is the case (regarding those who merely conceal the truth, by being silent), then what about those who actually speak for falsehood?”

[Sheikh Sultan ibn Bajad al-Otaibi ¦ Risalah ‘ila Talib al-‘Ilm ¦ p. 7]

💠The reality of Islam is surrender to Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) alone, and no other.

☝This is the meaning of Laa ilaaha ill-Allah (there is no god but Allah).

[Ibn Taymiyah | Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa, 4/245]
================================

💠Understanding and internalizing this declaration has profound implications:

☝️Exclusive Worship: Directing all acts of worship prayer, supplication, reliance, and love solely to Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala).

🚫 Rejection of Idolatry, false gods, false ideologies : Avoiding any form of association with Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) , be it through intermediaries or attributing divine qualities to others.

🍃Submission to Divine Will: Aligning one's actions and decisions with the guidance provided by Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) through the Qur'an and the teachings of the RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).

💥Islam is characterized by wholehearted submission to Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) , as encapsulated in the declaration [Laa ilaaha ill-Allah] This submission is not just a verbal affirmation but a comprehensive lifestyle of devotion, obedience, and unwavering faith in the oneness of Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala).

🔥 A Stern Reminder on the Foundations of Islam

💥This serves as a powerful reminder of the necessity for unwavering adherence to the foundational principles of Islam, particularly Tawḥīd.

🚫 Deviating from Tawḥīd or the Sunnah, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is considered a serious transgression that can lead to misguidance and, in severe cases, shirk (associating partners with Allah) or innovation (bidʿah).

🔰Therefore, it is imperative to seek authentic knowledge, remain vigilant against innovations, and consistently align our beliefs and practices with Tawḥīd and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
